On average solar batteries sold in New Zealand have a price range of $6000-$20000. This range is quite broad; lower-capacity batteries are cheaper than high-capacity batteries. Other than this, some solar panel systems such as Tesla Powerwall 2 have built-in storage systems which are why they cost more.
Homes that are grid-connected without a power storage system are prevalent in the New Zealand solar industry. These households use electricity from the main grid when there is a shortage of sunlight to generate energy and rely on solar power during cloudy days or at night time. The verdict
Average Price For A Solar Power System: The typical solar power system size from our dataset was a 7kW, the average cost for this system size was $16,492. Battery Systems Prices: The average battery cost is $1,249.79 per kWh, with smaller systems offering affordability and larger systems offering better value per kWh.
The investment is worthwhile for New Zealanders living in areas where power is costly or for those who wish to live off-grid solar and enjoy energy independence and the safety it affords. Calculating the payback period depends on how much your solar power system generates or “generated power” against current electricity prices.
We're happy with the new system and the battery backup is incredible. This company's quality was first-class, from design and installation, including the PowerPak battery pack.
